So...to use an argumentum ad absurdum: If the Great Sovereign State of Mississippi had a population of 100 people and 20 of them were impoverished that 20% rate is a more meaningful stat than a 15% Kalifornia rate with population of 3,000,000 people? Or in the real world: Kalifornia has a population of approx. 39,500,000 whereas Mississippi has a population of about 2,900,000. Kalifornia has more than 13 times the population of Mississippi. Might wanna consider weighting those numbers in the graph. Just sayin'...
